Police seek help in finding missing Melvindale teenager

MELVINDALE — Police are searching for a mentally handicapped woman that went missing shortly after midnight Tuesday.
Officers were dispatched to the 2500 block of Norman Avenue to perform a wellness check on Elizabeth Beneteau, 19, after her mother called with concerns that she was off of her medication.
Officers spoke with a man, identified as Beneteau’s ex-boyfriend, who said she had left an hour or two earlier. He told police that she “seemed fine,” and had walked away from the residence toward Dix-Toledo Avenue.
The man told officers that she was wearing a black shirt with a “Tap Out” logo on it, a gray hooded sweatshirt and carrying a clear backpack.
Anyone with information on Beneteau’s whereabouts is asked to call the Melvindale Police Department at (313)429-1070.
